THORChain and Cosmos live on different blockchains, and this swap uses the native assets on both, with no bridge contract and no wrapped token. The exchange receives RUNE on THORChain and pays out ATOM on Cosmos Hub.
Your ATOM is paid on Cosmos Hub. Use an address that starts with cosmos1. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty.

Enter the RUNE amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your ATOM address and send your RUNE to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ATOM is paid directly to your wallet.
At the last update, 1 RUNE ≈ 0.425691 ATOM (the best of 5 offers for 500 RUNE). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
The minimum is about 8.26 RUNE and the maximum about 2,581,142 RUNE. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
Usually around 12 min. Most of that is waiting for your RUNE deposit to confirm on THORChain, which takes a few seconds. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both THORChain and Cosmos Hub are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Your ATOM is paid on Cosmos Hub. Use an address that starts with cosmos1. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Cosmos Hub network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own THORChain network fee to send the deposit.
Yes. The reverse direction, ATOM to RUNE, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
